  • We have a house with a Kennedy sign up front in our neighborhood. I just don't get it. At least with Trump you get the whole cult of personality thing which can explain it.

    That one says "bonkers idiot lives here" instead of "racist lives here"

  • It's hard to overstate

  • Yeah, Lemmy doesn't block you from accessing it via a VPN, for one.

  • I think that's the point of what these statistics mean. This is an indictment on manufacturers not pushing the latest OS updates more than people not accepting the latest OS updates when they're available.

  • They're probably close to the same amount of inconvenient. The cash tip jar feels better than doing the custom option which feels like I'm specifically trying to tip less (at least that's how I feel whenever I use it). I don't like feeling that way and would rather feel positive about dropping cash in a tip jar than feel bad about adjusting to a similar tip on the screen options.

    I know it's stupid, but it's just how it makes me feel when using the screen.

  • In the US, I've started paying in cash to combat the aggressive tip buttons (your options are: 20%, 30%, 40%, or Other). With cash, I feel free to provide a reasonable tip for whatever service and they see it and appear appreciative, even if it's not the 20% the little tip screen attempts to strong arm you into.

  • Seems like a solvable problem though. We have a list of federated servers inately built into activitypub, right? Just need to tag results from those servers as being linked to a "lemmy" keyword search.

    I'm sure I'm oversimplifying it, but all the pieces are there, just need search engines to be smart about how they index. Since there are a couple of federation based models that would be good to index, not just lemmy, it would probably behoove them to figure it out.

  • As I understand it, Lemmy, being FOSS, is pretty immune to this since there are no big tech shareholders to appease. Lemmy is susceptible to EEE (embrace, extend, extinguish) via something like Threads, however.

  • I'd recommend Fedora KDE. Keep it simple. Good community, support, stable.

  • There are plenty of private companies that are shitty too. It definitely helps being private (and maybe is a requirement?), but you also have to have the right owners for private companies to be good.

  • Every sign, every rule, every law has a story as to why it is necessary.

  • I well over legal age to drink before he was even born and I'm a millennial. Man, when did we get old???

    Also, he's awesome. Really excited to see him in the final. What a birthday present that would be, eh?

  • Looks a lot like Immersed's Visor glasses. Not sure which one is more likely to actually be released and actually meet expectations.

  • This is why I didn't switch until this year. Valve really did a great thing by driving this adoption and I feel like with Proton in the state it's in, there's really not much you're giving up by going to Linux these days.

    The list of actual pain points is ever shrinking now. I can't imagine switching back in 95. You had to put up with so much inequity for a lot of that time.

  • Yep. It's gotta be hard to distinguish, because there are legitimately helpful and confidently correct people on reddit posts too. There's value there, but they have to figure it out how to distinguish between good and shit takes.

  • This has been true for code you pull from posts on stackoverflow since forever. There are some good ideas, but they a. Aren't exactly what you are trying to solve and b. Some of the ideas are incomplete or just bad and it is up to you to sort the wheat from the chaff.

  • Some of the recently reported ones have been traced back to Reddit shitposts. The hard thing they have to deal with is that the more authoritative you wrote your reddit comments, shitpost or not, the more upvotes you would get (at least that's what I felt was happening to my writing over time as I used reddit). That dynamic would mean reddit is full of people who sound very very confident in the joke position they post about (and it then is compounded by the many upvotes)

  • This is linuxmemes after all...
